      It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.

      Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.

      Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
      I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .

      Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.

      I still almost exclusively buy laptops with VGA because all of the monitors I have deployed are VGA. While many have HDMI available - it's definitely not all, I'm not sure I can even say most - as in more than 50% - you seem to be barking up a tree here, though I can't figure out why?

      There is no tree, the argument that was being made is that VGA is some magical technology and that @WrCombs was surprised the laptop his boss bought (within a few months) only had HDMI.

      It's a recent consumer device, why in the hell would any hardware manufacturer build a consumer device TODAY with VGA?

        How was that even remotely close to what I said?
        Who said anything about VGA being some magical technology?
        I said ; "My Laptop doesn't have a VGA port" So by default I can't run my 2nd Monitor off the laptop without a) getting a HDMI compatible monitor or B ) using a VGA to HDMI adapter to run the monitor (which I have one).

        you made up the "some magical Technology" - I have another question though - Is being Right really that important to you that you have to make up information that was never said?

        This started cause you asked "what was stopping me sic from using my laptop as my main device" and I told you.

        You're telling me you run HDMI to all of your End user Devices?
        If not then how is your argument valid?

          It would be very interesting to go to BB and see how many consumer devices have VGA on them - I'm thinking most if not all desktop consumer devices still do. laptops - well that would depend - super thin, nope, won't have it - fat cheap ones - very likely could because there's no license fee that I know of for VGA.

            Yes, because VGA is a tech that is reserved for specific use cases today. Literally 0 consumer devices come with VGA today as the norm. HDMI, DP or USB-C are what is used.

            Servers and terminals (like what you support and sell) may use it, but that is because it's old stupidly cheap tech.

                Nothing comes with VGA.

                  How the heck are you finding these laptops? I can't remember seeing VGA on anything. How much extra are you paying for these crazy custom devices just to get fuzzy monitors?

                    Extremely few. They do exist, but super rare. Nothing we buy or consider buying offers it. Literally the only place I've seen it in years is on do it yourself motherboards.

                    Modern video cards haven't offered it in years, the SBC market doesn't use it, laptops of normal size can't fit the connector!

                      Entry level ASRock motherboards still include it as a tertiary factor as of two years ago. But I was pretty shocked to find it there.

                          Still a bit amazing as including it as an extra feature isn't free. Almost free, but not actually free. LOL I couldn't believe that $50 mobos would waste the money on it.

                            Did it have HDMI or DP also? I would assume that they know their likely market is small time shops that break/fix repair crap for consumers that never upgrade anything.

                                  my friend (who is a business owner for her own Eye Lash cosmetic company) is having issues getting to her website
                                  When i put in myfriendswebsite.com i get an Index page
                                  like this: https://i.imgur.com/xsUirIW.png

                                  when I use www.myfriendswebsite.com i goes through.
                                  Weirdly enough it doesn't work for her either way she puts the address in.

                                      @WrCombs Is the website hosted on premise and has she tried clearing her cache and history?

                                          Maybe it's not obfuscated 😮

                                            @DustinB3403 She uses Square Space (?) and I had her try that too.
                                            Didn't help.
                                            even had her try porn mode.
